Gabon has two key ports, known as the port of Owendo and Port-Gentil, as well as oil terminals in Gamba and Lucina, which together handle 80% of the country’s trade. The port of Owendo is the key point of entry for most imports, while port-Gentil plays a greater role in terms of exports.

Owendo is responsible for the export of manufactured, agricultural and forestry products, along with extracted product and imports, while Port-Gentil exports most extracted and manufactured products.

Port-Gentil is the second-largest city of Gabon and its leading seaport. It is the centre of the country’s petroleum and timber industries. The port has deep water close to shore and it is relatively sheltered from ocean swells, behind Cape Lopez. Port Gentil could also become a trans-shipment hub, serving the adjacent African countries of Cameroon and The Republic of Congo.
